At this point Buzz Bingo has 76 UK wide clubs.

Buzz Bingo has been working to add to its loyal community a younger audience looking for IRL interaction. Partnering with Playtech, it’s setting the stage for a lively bingo & slots atmosphere.

Buzz Bingo Facilities

You can choose between daubing in the Main Hall, relaxing in the bingo lounge or spinning the slots in the dedicated slots area – Buzz Bingo has it all. 

Buzz Bingo provides both paper and touchscreen ticket options. Sites tend to offer onsite parking, disabled access, and a free-to-use cash machine, though we haven’t been to all 80 venues to check. Depending on location, you may find a roofed Bingo Terrace where you can puff and play without getting rained on. See below for details on food and beverages.

There’s also Live Bingo; a 10-hour streaming schedule packed with live bingo sessions featuring real callers every day from 12pm – 10pm.

Buzz Bingo: Award Winning Service 🏅

Weighing up whether Buzz Bingo is right for you?

At the WhichBingo Awards 2026, nearly 500,000 votes were cast, and the UK public named Buzz Bingo both Best Bingo Club and Best Playtech Bingo Site.

Those votes came from real players, so you’re hearing straight from people in exactly your position. If you’ve been on the fence, that’s a pretty reassuring crowd to have in your corner.

See all the WhichBingo Award winners.

Buzz Bingo Food

Popping in for a quick round of bingo or having a night out with friends? The Buzz Bingo menu offers something for every taste bud, from all day bar deals to hot food and delicious desserts.

We’d be here all day listing the full menu, so we’re giving you the highlights and you can browse the extensive menu when you visit Buzz Bingo yourself.

If you fancy a burger and chips, there’s chicken, beef, and vegan options available, and if you’re feeling extra peckish, you can go large and double it, or add toppings. 

There’s hot dogs, pizza, fish & chips, chicken tikka masala, a choice of pies, and more. How about a fried chicken basket or loaded fries? Maybe the slightly smaller but still filling ‘fiver favourites’ will grab you, or a simple jacket potato with toppings. 

Want dessert? You got it – enjoy plenty of sweet treats including Bakewell Tart, crumble (with custard or ice cream of course) or a daily selection of handmade cakes.

You can order from your touchscreen if you don’t fancy the walk to the bar. For customers who are vegan, vegetarian, and GF, the menu is clearly labelled. 

Buzz Bingo Tickets

Buzz recommends you pop in 20 minutes before play starts so you can register and get your questions answered by the friendly staff, plus get your new member bingo pack for £5.

You’ll receive a paper book or 30 touchscreen tickets (electronic play has become increasingly popular) and other goodies. Alternatively, you can join your club online beforehand.

Bingo Prices

Depending on whether you’re a paper or touchpad player, you can play from as little as £2 and up to £55 for Double XL (150 tickets!). Prices may vary depending on venue.

You can play for only £5 on your second visit too, plus grab the burger & drink for £5 deal, and more. New member slot fans can also grab a great welcome offer – £10 of slots for only £5. 

Bingo Sessions

Buzz Bingo offers six major sessions a day as standard, from breakfast bingo (10.30am Mon – Sat) to Late Finale Bingo (9.15pm every day). Plus nearly 10 extra games, like Go Go Bingo (20p games) in between sessions and Double Money (2 tickets for £1). Afternoon Main Event Sessions start at 1pm Mon to Fri and 1.30pm on weekends. 7pm is the start time for Evening Main Event sessions.

What are Main Event Sessions? They’re Buzz’s big attractions that offer a fun-filled mix of bingo and extra games. You will also find the Buzz Bingo unique GOGO Bingo games which have huge prizes up for grabs. A lucky player in Leeds recently walked away with a Buzz club big win, enjoying a massive £14,000 prize from a 20p ticket.

If you’re looking for a different way to win other than bingo, every Buzz Bingo hall has a dedicated space for digital slots games. A slots host will help you claim your £10 of slots for £5 offer. 

Electronic Terminals

Some say that paper tickets deliver the most authentic bingo experience, but touchscreens are all the rage at Buzz Bingo. There are even two electronic only sessions – Big Bite Bingo and Late Finale Bingo. You can use the screens to buy your bingo tickets, play slots, top up your balance or order from the bar. Just grab a device and take it to the Bingo Sales area!

Considered the easiest way to play bingo and with more chances to win because you can play with multiple tickets rather than one paper, touchscreen also has Autoplay which allows you to have a chat with your mates while the caller shouts out those all important numbers. 

Buzz Bingo Atmosphere

Whether you’re looking for a 1 line, 2 line or full house win, the community spirit is alive and kickin’ at Buzz Bingo. It’s generally a quiet game with the gentle murmurs of friends chatting, but there’s still a distinct atmosphere and a buzz of excitement right up to the all favourite “BINGO!” moment.

Buzz Bingo Facebook is a hot meeting spot for the community, and its Instagram page shows lots of giggles and funny vids. We love a bingo brand that doesn’t take itself too seriously.

Buzz Bingo Customer Service

Buzz Bingo prides itself on friendly staff, good food, and comfortable venues. Don’t be shocked if you’re asked for ID. Buzz’s ‘Think 25’ policy means that if you(‘re lucky enough to) look younger than 25, you’ll need to prove you’re over 18 years of age. So take a photo ID with you – either passport or driving licence.

Buzz Bingo head office is in Nottingham and everything about the brand that matters to players is UK based. There are not many brands that can say that these days.

Buzz Bingo Live Events

There are a number of venues that deliver a special experience – the wonder of Buzz Bingo’s parties that combine games, music, prize giveaways, live entertainment, and more. 

How about the bingo party Bada Bingo where you can bust a move to your fave 90’s and 00’s tracks. Or Abba Bingo where, yes, you guessed it, is heavy on the Abba theme. Maybe Boogie Bingo is more your vibe – singing, dancing, and daubing the night away.

These live events are spectacular and highly recommended.

Fun facts

The Ashton-under-Lyne Buzz Bingo team cycled more than 2K kilometres over two marathon sessions to raise over £2K! A static bike was put up in the club’s main hall and the dosh raised for The Antony Seddon Fund supports people with mental health issues. 

And four Buzz Bingo employees celebrated their 20-year-long service with Buzz recently – Dawn from Buzz Bingo Walsall, Kris from Buzz Bingo Arboath, Shona from Buzz Bingo Dundee, and Helen from Buzz Bingo Peterbrough. 

So, whether your nearest hall is Buzz Bingo Crawley, Buzz Bingo Burnley, or Buzz Bingo Leeds, we say it’s worth a visit. We can assure you, there’s plenty of fun to be had!

Community Spotlight

Buzz Bingo Tooting

We filmed the WhichBingo Awards at Buzz Bingo Tooting in 2021, and we were blown away by its splendour so we thought we’d share more of its magic with you. 

Located on the Mitcham Road in South London’s bustling SW17, Buzz Bingo Tooting was originally a cinema built in 1931. It’s now a grade 1 listed building with unique Art Deco-inspired arches and beautiful interior, which adds a sense of historical glamour to the bingo experience.

Apparently Frank Sinatra, the Rolling Stones, and even The Beatles performed on the stage after it evolved from a Granada cinema into a music venue. It’s been a bingo hall since the 1970s, putting it in good stead as one of the most dramatic places to bingo the night away.

How to Get There:

There’s plenty of ways to get to Buzz Bingo Tooting whether you’re using the free car park behind or the excellent public transport links if you’re thinking of having a wee tipple. The nearest tube is Tooting Broadway on the Northern line which is only a two minute walk away. Tooting via Thameslink is about a 15 minute walk away, and there’s tons of bus lines that stop outside the venue, including the 127, 264, 270, 333, and 44.

What to Expect:

The outside of the building is understated but impactful, thanks to its tall pillars and defined edges. Once inside, there’s a grand reception area, slots room, gorgeous main hall, and well-stocked bar. You can tell that this venue has everything you need for a great session with its red cushioned seats, intimate booth layout, beautiful artwork, and atmospheric chandeliers.

Buzz Bingo Tooting Games

Open times are early til late: 10:00am – 4:00am Wed, Thur & Fri, and 24 hours Mon, Tue, Sat, and Sun. 

The Tooting venue offers the standard Buzz Bingo games that take place across the network and regular promotions like Big Money Nights and Snowman Day (win double prize money by calling 8 or 88). Slots fans can enjoy Tournament Thursdays and it’s a proud host of live entertainment Bingo Wonderland and Bada Bingo.

Tooting updates its Facebook page daily with flash competitions, sales, and giveaways to keep it fresh and exciting.

Bingo Prizes

All the Buzz Bingo prizes you love are here, like the community jackpot Pot of Gold that grows daily and can be played during Lunch Club, Big Bite, and Late Finale sessions.

At Buzz Bingo, over £2M is won in prizes every week.

Food and Drink

Take a break with a cuppa and cake. Cheers with friends over 2 small bottles of wine or prosecco for as little as £7.50. Or grab a shareable 4 pint pitcher of Carling & Carling Cider for a bargain £14.50.

Of course, the full and extensive menu is available if you’re hankering for some filling and well-priced sustenance.

Facilities

The hall is right in Tooting town centre, the public car park located behind the club is super handy. There are disabled facilities and a bank machine if you prefer to pay in cash, though of course cards are accepted.
